Fusion Bonded Epoxy Tank for Agricultural Wastewater Management:
Provides secure containment for farm run-off and effluent
Agricultural wastewater management is a critical component of modern farming, encompassing everything
from high-strength livestock manure and milking parlor washdown to
unpredictable farm run-off from heavy rains. This effluent is characterized by high
concentrations of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), suspended
solids, and organic matter. If not contained and managed
effectively, it poses a significant threat to local waterways
through nutrient pollution and pathogen spread. The imperative is
clear: facilities require infrastructure that provides secure containment for farm run-off and effluent while withstanding the corrosive and demanding environment of the
farm itself. The Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) Tank is specifically designed to meet this dual challenge. At
Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd. (Center Enamel), we
engineer FBE bolted steel tanks to deliver durable, chemically
resilient, and rapidly deployable containment solutions that ensure
environmental compliance and support sustainable farming practices.
The Environmental and Corrosive Challenges of Farm Effluent
Containment solutions for agricultural wastewater are subjected to unique and aggressive stressors:
Chemical Corrosivity from Manure: Livestock manure and silage effluent contain high levels of
organic acids and ammonia. The biological activity generates
volatile compounds that, when dissolved, create an intensely
corrosive environment, rapidly deteriorating conventional concrete
and steel surfaces.
High Nutrient and Pollutant Load: Farm run-off and effluent are rich in nitrogen and phosphorus. Failure to provide secure containment results in nutrient loading of nearby streams, leading to algal
blooms and water quality degradation, making robust, leak-proof
containment essential for compliance.
Volume Variability: Containment systems must manage both predictable daily washdown
volumes and unpredictable, massive surges from farm run-off following heavy rainfall. This demands high-capacity vessels with superior structural strength to handle rapidly
changing hydraulic loads.
Abrasive Solids: Manure and slurry contain abrasive grit and bedding material. The
tank liner must be durable enough to resist mechanical wear and
tear, especially during mixing and slurry pump-out cycles.
Odour and Gas Management: Uncovered or inadequately sealed storage releases ammonia and
other odor-causing gases. A secure, sealed containment vessel is
crucial for odor control and for maximizing the recovery of methane
for energy.
Secure containment is vital not only for environmental protection but also for
facilitating the conversion of waste into valuable resources like
fertilizer and biogas.
The FBE Solution: Secure Containment for Farm Run-off and Effluent
Center Enamel’s Fusion Bonded Epoxy Bolted Steel Tanks are
engineered to provide secure containment for farm run-off and effluent with maximum durability and minimal environmental risk:
Superior Resistance to Manure Acids: The FBE coating is a dense, chemically inert polymer molecularly
bonded to the steel. This high-performance barrier provides
uncompromising defense against the continuous corrosive attack from
organic acids, ammonia, and other chemicals present in livestock
waste, ensuring the structural integrity of the steel is
maintained.
High Structural Strength for Slurry: FBE tanks are built from high-tensile, factory-engineered steel,
offering the high-capacity and structural durability required to safely hold the immense weight of dense, high-solids
manure slurry and large volumes of storm run-off.
Guaranteed Leak-Proof Seal: The precision-machined, bolted panel design, combined with
high-performance sealants, creates a verifiable, leak-proof
structure. This secure containment eliminates the environmental contamination risk associated with
leaking concrete lagoons or cracked open-top storage.
Ideal for Biogas and Nutrient Recovery: The FBE tanks are chemically inert and gas-tight, making them the
perfect vessel for anaerobic digestion, converting manure and farm run-off into methane and stabilizing nutrients for safer, more predictable
field application.
Rapid, Year-Round Deployment: The modular nature of FBE tanks allows for fast construction with
minimal on-site disruption. This is a critical advantage for active
farms that need to quickly implement or expand their wastewater management capacity to comply with tightening regulations.
Product Industry Application: FBE Tanks in Agricultural Wastewater
Management
The resilience and sealed integrity of FBE tanks make them the
preferred containment choice across all critical functions in agricultural wastewater management:
Manure Slurry Holding Tanks: Used for primary, high-volume, and long-term secure containment of dairy, hog, and poultry manure slurry, resisting the constant
corrosive forces.
Anaerobic Digesters (AD): FBE tanks serve as the main reactor vessel, converting
high-organic farm effluent into biogas while providing H2S corrosion resistance and
gas-tight integrity.
Effluent Equalization Basins: Deployed to stabilize the highly variable flow, temperature, and
composition of mixed farm run-off and effluent before it enters treatment systems.
Irrigation Water Storage: Used to hold treated or raw effluent for controlled land
application, ensuring secure containment until the optimal time for nutrient delivery.
Lagoon Replacement and Upgrades: FBE tanks offer a safer, smaller footprint, and more
environmentally secure alternative to traditional earthen lagoons, which are prone to
seepage and are difficult to cover.
